I was 12, on base with my dad and there was a SAS guy there for joint ops or something. He proceeded to give me a detailed account of how to turn I beams and c4 into projectiles and claimed they used said tactic in Iraq. Fucker had charts.
Yes. Special forces are vetted with lots of testing before joining. However, once they’re done doing things that make many psychologically stable people very unstable, they’re released back into the general population with little to no help or followup.
I’ve known several special forces guys, not the actual Special Forces (Green Berets), but Navy Seals, Rangers, and a Delta Force guy. They were all very even-keel about everything. The movies show these guys as pumped up rowdy dudes, but the guys I’ve actually met were all very mellow, and mild-mannered individuals. Don’t get me wrong, they could throw-down when the situation required it, but you’d never know that just from talking to them. If they’re anything, then I’d say sociopathic is probably the closest they’d qualify as. Although they didn’t really seem to have a lack of emotions or empathy, but they were very good at compartmentalizing their emotions and empathy when needed.
I thought that they checked to make sure people were psychologically stable before giving them special-forces training…
Sounds like you’ve never met a special forces guy
